The light, stiff 32 Step-Cast chassis with Fox's simple, durable GRIP damper: a strong choice for XC racing, marathon events and fast hardtails.

Highlights

• 100mm of travel on a 29in, 44mm offset chassis
• GRIP damper with an on-fork 3-position lever
• Reverse arch that is 40% stiffer than the previous 32 Step-Cast
• Black anodised 32mm upper tubes, matte black lowers
• Kabolt SL 15 x 110mm Boost thru-axle

Step-Cast chassis

The generatively designed rear arch adds 40% stiffness while keeping weight down and clears XC frames at 100mm of travel. The Kabolt SL thru-axle saves 12g over the standard Kabolt, and the 7000 series aluminium crown supports angled upper tubes to set the rake.

GRIP damper

The GRIP damper is updated with pressure balancing and uses a durable, self-healing spring-backed internal floating piston. Three on-the-fly compression positions with micro-adjust between Open, Medium and Firm, plus 10 clicks of rebound, keep set-up quick and simple.

Fitting and Fox service

Fork installation is a separate workshop service and isn't included. As an authorised Fox service centre, our Marrickville workshop can fit the fork to your bike (steerer cut, crown race and star nut), set sag and damping for your weight and riding, and look after its scheduled Fox servicing from there.

Compatibility & fit

For 29in wheels with a 15 x 110mm Boost hub and a 1.5in tapered steerer. The crown suits 58mm head tubes only. Axle-to-crown is 506.6mm. Brakes are 160mm post mount direct, up to 180mm rotors with the right adapter. Maximum tyre size is 29 x 2.4in.
